COLLISION ar SEA.

Collision will and must remain the
great and really almost the one danger
which the North Atlantic traveller need
fear He can rarely hope to cross in
the usual steam route without expert
encing run of some hundreds of miles
through fog, especially on leaving or
approaching our coast. So long as the
Gulf Stream and the cold in-lying cur
rent from the north move in juxtaposi-
ton as they do, so long will the fog be
almost present upon the border-land
dividing them. How easy it is for q
great ship to be sunk was shown in the
case of the Oregon. A blow from q
pygmy schooner not more than one
tenth her size, and hole was opened
through her side which unfortunate
circumstances combined to make fatal.
and the great vessel, a triumph of hui
man skill in hull and machinery, is
lying in few hours upon the bottom
of the sea, with million days Of skilled
labor, as represented by ship and
cargo, in this moment made valueless.
Who can overestimate the care and re-
sponsibility upon the man who COM
mands such ship? In what other
calling are they found as such con-
slant part Of daily life? And how
lily they are paid for it!
The only remedy for such an acct
dent as that which befell the unlucky
Oregon seems to be subdivision to

COULDN'T KEEP HIS MOUTH Shut.
Mr.. George Washington Cole, of Chi
cago, didn't come home one evening at
the usual time, nor the next day, and
Mrs. Cole, becoming alarmed, began a
search for him. She was not success
full, and after several days, as last re-
sort, visited the morgue. The keeper
listened to her description, and then
said he thought he had subject that
answered to it. The wife desired to
look at the body, and she was shown in
to the dead-house.
After viewing the subject pointed out
to her very intently for several min
utes, Mrs. Cole burst into tears and de-
clared that the body was that of her
late husband. But in order to assure
herself that she had made no mistake,
she requested the keeper Of the morgue
to turn the body over, and see if there
was large scar on the back of the
neck. AS he proceeded to do SO, set
of false teeth fell out of the mouth of
the corpse upon the marble slab.
"Stop!" exclaimed Mrs. Cole, wiping
away her tears; George never wore
false teeth"
"You blamed fool!' growled the
keeper of the morgue, addressing the
corpse, as he roughly threw it back in
place and picked up the false teeth; 1T

PLAIN DRESSES.
Fashionable Suits That Are Within Reach
of Almost Every Woman.

of Almost Every Woman.
Women of small incomes take COM
fort in the fact that this is ''woolen
season." because their three winter
dresses-good, better and best-can be
made of inexpensive wool goods and yet
be within the bounds of fashion. The
shops are full of all-wool fabrics at the
popular prices of fifty or seventy-five
cents yard, and for these only very
little is needed in the way of thinning.
To know what to select for the one new
dress and what to use for undermining
those pag.tly worn is, however, most
necessary, and requires careful thought.
If an entire new dress is to be bought,
it is best to buy the whole dress of one
fabric instead of combination of two
stuffs, leaving combinations for renew
ing last years dresses. Thus if it is the
good and plain dress that is to serve
for home wear and also for morn
ings in the street, one of the checked
or striped wool fabrics is a good
choice, and this should be made with
full drapery and Il simple basque, with
its only trimming some rows of braid
or of stitching on the edges. But if
such dress is to be remaGe from parts
of last years dresses, it is best to put
all the checked, plaid or striped goods
in the skirt and its drapery, and buy
new plain wool of harmonious color
for the basque. This basque should
also be chosen with view to other
skirts in the wardrobe, and can then be
as useful as u jersey waist. Dark soft
colors are liked for these plain gowns
in preference to the black woolens late
ly used, but now being gradually aban-
doned, for the house, because of their
sombreness, and also because they are
unbecoming to most women unless
their dull surface is lightened by Jet or
other gay trimming. Moreover, eco
nomical women now buy light and rich
colored woolens, and enjoy them while
they are new, knowing that when
their freshness is gone, and the
cleaner can not restore it, they
can be dyed black and renew their
usefulness, as most all-wool goods will
take on good shade of black. The
camels-hair and serges in firmly woven
but not heavy qualities, sold for sixty or
seventy-fve cents u yard, make excel
lent dresses for those who object to the

The difficulty of sighting rifles in
the dark in warfare has been ingeniously
overcome by the use of luminous paint.
A small luminous bead is clipped on to
the rifle over the foresight, and another
over the rear sight when used at night

| two luminous sights. The British War
Office authorities have had some of
these sights under trial for the past six
months, and have now given their first
/ order for them.
A new method of manufacturing
! car-wheels has been tested at Wilkes

BY the old method three men could
make only eighteen wheels per day of
twelve hours. By the new process the
same number of men can turn out a
perfect wheel every minute, or 720 per
day. One of the principal features of
! the new method is the use of a steel
core, instead of one of sand, in casting
the wheel. The core is removed by
knocking out center key, leaving the
hole perfectly true and ready to put
upon the axle at once, without dressing
or boring.-PittsbWrgh Post.

represents $45, 100000 and the annual

LEAD POISONING.
The Modes in Which Lead in Various
Forms Is Introduced Into the System.

The Modes in Which Lead in Various
Forms Is Introduced Into the System.
The chronic forms of lead poisoning
are of frequent occurrence. The most
common is that in which collie is the
first and most prominent symptom.
Another form is marked by various
local paralyses, the most common of
which affects the extensor muscles of
the wrist, aud is commonly known as
'wrist-drop."
The modes in which lead in some Of
its forms may be introduced into the
system in quantities sufficient to pro-
duce poisonous results are very numer-
Gus.
l. Painters, GLACIERS, plumbers, type
founders and other workers in lead are
frequent subjects of this disease. So
common is this that the first variety of
lead poisoning is popularity known as
painters collie,
2. Large numbers are poisoned by
the use of water for drinking and
cooking purposes which has been
conveyed through lead pipes. 1t is
worthy of note that the softer and
purer the water, the more readily does
it dissolve the lead, and the more dam
gerous does it become. Hence, lead
pipes should be ignored so far as posi-
BILE, and, where used, the water should
never be suffered to stand in them be-
fore being used.
8. Sugar of lead is sometimes used to
correct the acidity of cider, wine and
some other liquors. Hair dyes and facc
powders often contain poisonous guam
tity of lead. The tin cans often used
for canning foods, some forms of glazed
earthenware and cheap tinware are re-
sponsible for many cases.
A. Often only single person in u
family will be affected, and this is likely
to be one of the younger or weaker
members. There is, however, n pecu-
liar susceptibility existing in some per-
sons, so that even the use of lead rs a
medicine will produce poisonous effects.
